OK, SO I TRIED TO UPDATE AGAIN LAST NIGHT BUT AFTER EVERYTHING GOING ON THE PAST FEW DAYS, THE ELECTRICITY WENT OUT ON ME AFTER THE FIRST PARAGRAPH!!!!

The weather is not so good today. Hopefully we don't run into it again tomorrow because it IS headed to Florida! Let's try this again.......
So sorry.
Oh yeah, we are doing the
one day dance over here!!

DS took off the #2 Mickey Head from our countdown calendar tonight. Under it he found a picture of Test Track which is his FAVORITE ride at WDW.

He was super excited. I gave him some surprises this week each time he pulled off a Mickey Head. They have been cute Disney themed socks, color wonder mini coloring books for the drive over, and a case to keep the books and markers in.
This week has been "appreciation week" at DS's school. I have been busy every day doing special things for the people we are appreciating on that day. On top of that I've been TRYING to get laundry done, pack, finish shopping for our trip, bringing DS to birthday parties for friends, cooking dinner, attending parent/teacher committee meetings, playing with the dog so she doesn't think we left her for good, coordinating parents to cook a meal for the teacher Friday night when I WON'T BE HERE,

, getting allergy shots, losing my mind and occasionally sleeping......not nearly enough!
THURSDAY:
This morning I got up and got the family going. I brought all the gifts for the teacher and her aide for the next week!! Tomorrow is teacher appreciation, then we are missing valentines day and mardi gras!! So, we brought gifts for all of those occasions this morning. Needless to say they were pretty shocked and overwhelmed.

His teacher is sending him home today with his school work for next week. We will work on that during the LONG drive tomorrow.
Speaking of the drive, my car is ready!! Ok, aside from all the other issues lately

..... I mean it's "DRESSED" for the trip. I've got my saints flag proudly waving along with decals and my special tinkerbell that I put on my vehicle every trip.
I hope your taking pictures of your car all dressed up. I want to see that!
Especially the special Tink you put on her. Not that I don't want to see your Saints stuff....I just want to see Tink!
All I have left is sorting out the remaining laundry and making sure we have all the clothes packed. Then the toiletries bag will get another looking over and the first aid bag.......oh, you'll be happy to know that we DID buy ds a new boat for the huge garden tub at OKW. It's a tradition!! The part you'll be happy in knowing.....or that I'M happy about....is that DH successfully opened the package without almost cutting off his finger this time.

WE'RE GOOD TO GO!!!!
Our suitcases went from this....
To this, in 2 days......
I'd say we are almost ready to go!!! By tonight, everything will be done.
WHO'S READY FOR VACATION!????????
